Since Sun Jian agreed to this matter, it was much easier to do, and soon a document jointly signed by Sun Jian and Wen Chou was distributed from Yingchuan to most parts of the country.

Just as Wen Chou would have thought that Dong Zhuo would no longer think about killing other scholars in the court, there were also people in Dong Zhuojun who held other opinions. After Sun Jian and Wen Chouwen passed to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, someone frowned and asked: "Why don't you kill the Xun family, the Chen family, etc., who were born in Yingchuan?" so that they may be taught what is right. If there is no support from the people of Yingchuan, the defeat of Sun and Wen is not far away! "This person is because Sun Jian and Wen Chou are in Yingchuan, so they are guilty of Yingchuan people, and the Xun family and Chen family here are also Xun Shuang and Chen Ji.

"No, if the Yingchuan scholars are killed, won't it push the Yingchuan people to Wen and Sun Erzi?" Since there are those who want to kill people, they have rational thinking. Dong Zhuo saw that it was his son-in-law Niu Fu who spoke. Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's cronies and son-in-law, and he knows the real purpose of Dong Zhuo's more than 50 Yuan's families, that is, to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Dong Zhuo's intention to kill Yuan Kui and others was not in Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but in the sour jujube coalition, he wanted to use this to intimidate Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others. Most of the princes of the sour jujube were born in famous families, generations of officials, before the army, some still live in Luoyang, almost all have family members, children, clansmen in Beijing, others do not say, such as Cao Cao, he has family members in Luoyang, Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang when the situation was urgent, it was a micro-service and left, did not bring a few people, he was in the early years in the county when the little wife Bian and Bian gave birth to his second son Cao Pi and others failed to go with him, and later raised troops to fight Dong, the two armies were enemies, Cao Cao could not send people to take Bian, Cao Pi and others out, so, They are all still in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kui and the others, just to tell Cao Cao and the others: If you still follow Yuan Shao and me as enemies, your families, children, and clansmen who stayed in Luoyang will end up with Yuan Kui and others.

This is a psychological blow to Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and other princes who followed Yuan Shao to raise troops.

Another person said: "Xiangguo must not do anything to kill again." Dong Zhuo looked at it again, and it was Jia Xu who was talking about the school captain. Jia Xu is known for his wisdom, and Dong Zhuo is quite serious, so he asked: "Wenhe." Why not? ”

Jia Xu is over forty years old this year, he was born in Liangzhou, located in the border, his reputation was not obvious when he was young, only Yan Zhong thought he was different, there was goodness and peace, and later, he was promoted to filial piety and honesty, and entered the court as a lang. After returning home due to illness, he was requisitioned by the public government and came to Luoyang, where he moved to Taiwei Peng, and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. First worship him as the captain of Pingjin, and order to guard the small Pingjin in the eight passes around Luoyang. Some time ago, he was recalled to Luoyang and reassigned to the rank of lieutenant.

Jia Xu said respectfully: "Yuan Kui, Taifu, Yuan Ji, Taifu, Ming Gong has already punished him." The government and the opposition are frightened, and now if they punish the Xun clan and the Chen clan again, the so-called extreme things will be the opposite, which will inevitably make the inside and outside uneasy, or centrifuged. Anti-Zhuang Er Yuan momentum. ”

Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji are Yuan Shao's clansmen, Dong Zhuo killed, it is to kill chickens and monkeys, but Xun Shuang is now also one of the three dukes, if Dong Zhuo kills again, that is, he will kill two three dukes in a short period of time, which has never been seen in the court before, and it will definitely lead to the ministers and ministers of the DPRK and the central government to endanger themselves, and it is not conducive to Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Luoyang, to strengthen his control over Chang'an. Dong Zhuo thought so, and said yes.

Jia Xu said again: "This time the Kwantung army, the leader of the alliance is Yuan Shao, such as Wen Chou and Sun Jian, but they are just subordinates, neither the name of Yuan Shao, nor the people of Yuan Shao, even if they fight bravely, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The most important thing at the moment is that the second Yuan should be the first, as long as the second Yuan can be defeated first, especially Yuan Shao, the rest of the Kanto region, the clown who jumped the beam, and it is not enough to settle the country. ”

Yuan's family is the third duke, protégés and former officials are all over the world, and their political power is extremely strong, and they are Dong Zhuo's strong enemies, and such as Wen Chou, Sun Jian, etc., are indeed as Jia Xu said: No matter how dare to fight, it is only his two teams, and it has nothing to do with the political situation in the world. The most important thing at the moment is indeed to find a way to defeat Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu first, as long as they can defeat the two of them, the Kwantung Righteous Army is a group of dragons without a leader, and the stars will disperse.

Dong Zhuo said: "Wenhe, Qing's words are very true. After a pause, he asked Jia Xu again, "Now that I have punished the Yuan clan in Beijing, I think all the sour jujube erections should be bold, Wenhe, what do you think I should do next to force him to surrender me?" ”

Jia Xu had already made up his mind, and when he heard Dong Zhuo's inquiry, he replied immediately: "Indeed, as Ming Gong said, Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and others were executed, it is expected that the sour jujube pillars must have been frightened and frightened, and they are worried about their families in Beijing, so they should not dare to openly be enemies of Ming Gong again, but if they want to force them to disperse, or even worse, make them bind themselves and ask for surrender, so that in the next opinion, they have to throw a fire into the pyre." ”

Dong Zhuo asked, "What fire?" ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "Ming Gong can dispatch good generals, so that the commander can use elite soldiers to attack Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, patted the case and said: "What Qing Zhi said, is what I mean." "As the saying goes, shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before the king.

This time the Kwantung to discuss Dong, its "king" is the second Yuan, especially Yuan Shao, from the earlier Wen Chou, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, etc. sent troops, and the rest did not go out with the joint army, it can be seen that although the momentum of the Kwantung coalition army is strong, the inner reality has its own plans, then, on this basis, seize Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the two headed by the fierce pursuit and fierce attack, first kill Yuan Kui, etc., psychologically intimidate the rest, and then send troops to attack the second Yuan, militarily intimidate the remnant, two-pronged, eight or nine times out of ten, can make the Kwantung coalition army collapse, as long as the Kwantung coalition army collapses, The pressure on Dong Zhuo's side will be reduced, so that he can either surrender or attack, and calmly calm them down one by one.

I have to say that Dong Zhuo is indeed a personal masterpiece, ambitious, capable, and skilled. After first taking a defensive position and watching the movements of the Kwantung Allied Army, after seeing that the Kwantung Allied Forces really had their own plans and were not monolithic, they immediately made a decision and immediately punished Yuan's people in Beijing for being a threat, and then changed the defensive position to an attack, so as to further attack the Allied Forces militarily and force them to divide and disintegrate. His whole set of methods for dealing with the Kwantung coalition army was very methodical.

It's just a pity that he ignored a point, which ultimately led to his defeat. This "point" that was "ignored" by Dong Zhuo is the "general trend". (To be continued.) )
